[[File:HMS Alliance submarine mode.jpg|thumb|left|400px|Be honest. You’re thinking how great it would be if she was a live-action version of [[Nautica (G1)|Nautica]] instead of a [[Daytrader|weird new]] [[Dreadbot|character]] [[Cogman|with an]] [[Nitro Zeus|absurd name]].]]<br />
HMS Alliance was a Transformer who came to [[Earth]] at some point and, with "her" fellow Autobots, fought alongside the Allied forces in [[World War II]]. She took the form of a British submarine and became an ally to the [[Order of the Witwiccans]]. She also knew of the presence of the [[Guardian Knight]]s on Earth and the location of [[Guardian Knights' ship|their ship]], hidden beneath the ocean. However, during the war she was badly damaged to the point where she was rendered comatose and unable to transform. Her alternate mode was then put on display and converted to {{w|Royal Navy Submarine Museum|a museum for humans}}. At some point, the last descendant of [[Merlin]], a human ally of the Knights, discovered her existence and left clues of it for his daughter, [[Viviane Wembly|Viviane.]]<br />
<br />
In the early 21st Century, when Earth was threatened by the arrival of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Viviane discovered her father's clues and went to the Alliance with [[Cade Yeager]] and fellow Autobots [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] and [[Cogman]]. [[Edmund Burton]], the last member of the Witwiccans, then paid off the museum staff to close it off to all other humans. The damaged bot was soon reactivated by contact with Viviane, though was still unable to transform. She ferried the group to the ocean floor, while also being forced to ram a pursuing military sub and play host to a romantic dinner for her passengers. She took the group into the Knight's ship and docked while they went to look for [[Staff of Merlin|Merlin's staff]]. After the Knights' ship became active again and rose to the surface, Viviane and Cogman returned to the safety of the sub, which retreated and wound up perched on the ship's hull as it lifted into the sky. {{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}<br />

==Notes==<br />
*The real-life [[w:HMS Alliance (P417)|HMS ''Alliance'']] is indeed on display at the {{w|Royal Navy Submarine Museum}}, as shown in the film.<br />
*The ''Alliance'' Transformer is never seen transforming or giving any indication of being alive onscreen, with only [[Transformers Reaction Force|TRF]] members mentioning it "jumping the dock". This article presumes that as a WWII-era vehicle of an {{w|Allies of World War II|Allied nation}}, she is an Autobot as Bumblebee and [[Hot Rod (DOTM)|Hot Rod]] were.<br />
*The ''Alliance'' is referred to as "she" in film dialogue; while this is almost certainly just because naval vessels are traditionally referred to in the feminine in English, we're assuming that it means she's a [[female Transformer]], since it's all we have to go on.<br />
*As seen in the concept art above (taken from ''[[Transformers: A Visual History]]''), her robot mode is styled after a scuba-diver and bears a resemblance to [[Sea Spray (TF 2010)|Sea Spray]]. (In fact, due to the colors, she actually looks a bit more like Sea Spray's redeco [[Deep Dive]].)<br />
